Wellington Club v. The World.—On Saturday next that particularly attractive fixture in the bowling calendar,: the Wellington Club versus The'World,'will be played on the Wellington Club's green.

Bowlers are already conjecturing whether next Saturday's contest will break the spell. Some strong teams have already been arranged. Eastbourne Team's.—The following players will represent Eastbourne against Wellington next Saturday:—Levi, Chitty, Morris. Shortt (skip). Against Newtown—Home: Pilcher, Heenan, Watson, Mayer (skip); away.' Cray, Walker, Marquis, Powell (skip).
